Kyou Kara Maou Fan Fiction ❯ A Fright In The Night ❯ One-Shot

"AAAAHHHHH!!!" Wolfram screamed as he bolted up from his pillow. He was alone in the dark, and he shivered as the wind from his window met the cold sweat that was all over him. He heard two sets of foot steps running down the hall towards his room. Tears began falling from his eyes, shit, I can't let people see me like this! he thought to himself, and willed the tears to stop, but they wouldn't. As his door opened, the worried faces of Conrad and Gwendal shone in the moonlight of the room. Without thinking, Wolfram jumped from his bed and against the chest of his oldest brother, still sobbing and shaking. Gwendal looked helplessly at Conrad. Conrad made a motion that indicated that Gwendal was to close his arms about the crying boy. After doing so, Wolfram's sobbing slowed down and became less heavy. Noticing that his older brother had no experience in comforting a small child, Conrad moved forward and patted Wolfram on the head gently. Gwendal felt movement from his younger brother in his arms and loosened his grip a bit. Wolfram sprang to Conrad's open arms. Conrad stroked Wolfram's hair softly,

"Shh, there, there, now, what has this young Mazoku so up in arms?" Wolfram gripped Conrad's shirt tightly and leaned closer into him as he shakily replied,

"Dead...dead...dead...all of them...everyone was...gone..."

"Who's dead, Wolfram? Who's gone?" Conrad gently urged.

"Shinou...he killed them all...he...EVERYONE IS DEAD!!!" Wolfram replied, looking up at his human brother wide eyed. Gwendal sighed, Conrad spoke,

"He'll be like this for a while, Gwendal. You should go get some sleep. I'll stay with Wolfram." Gwendal nodded,

"Agreed..." then he sighed, "You know, I'm wondering when His Majesty Yuuri will return...Wolf would be talking by now if Yuuri were---" He was cut off by Wolfram yelling again,

"HE'S GOING TO DIE!!! THEY ALL ARE!!! ULRIKE!!! THE GREAT SAGE!!! EVERYONE THAT'S THERE!!! SHINOU WILL...he will...kill them..." Both the older Mazoku Lords looked at eachother in horror. Wolfram was crying again, this time beyond being consoled.

"Gwen---" Conrad started.

"I know. I'll go think of something." Gunter, I hope you have a medication for this... he thought to himself as he walked away. Conrad picked up his hysterical brother and placed him back into bed,

"Now, Wolfram, tell me what your nightmare was all about."

 

Wolfram's Dream

"Well, Shibuya, how do you think that game went?" Murata asked as he and Yuuri walked home from baseball practice,

"I think the team is getting really good! We'll win the tournament I'm sure of that." At that moment, the two boys got inside the Shibuya's gate and heard Yuuri's mother squeal. They raced inside and there stood Wolfram, dressed in Yuuri's clothes.

"Wolfram...where'd you come from? And why aren't you wet? And why are you in Shibuya's clothes?" Murata questioned the Mazoku. Wolfram was trembling and his eyes were moist with unshed tears. He ran towards Yuuri and collapsed in his arms.

"Wol-chan?" Yuuri questioned, just as confused as everyone else in the room.

"Shinou is going to kill you." Wolfram whispered into Yuuri's chest, "Ulrike told me he was planning to..."

"He is a mess, the poor child...eh, Yuuri Heika?" a double voice emanated from Murata. Yuuri and his mother looked confusedly over at Murata, while Wolfram gasped wide eyed at the young man.

"Daikenja-sama?!"[1] Wolfram exclaimed in both fright and relief. Murata's head shook from left to right,

"That's wrong, Lord von Bielefield. It's me, Shinou." The double voice continued, "And I followed you here through that contraption." Murata pointed to the small silver ball that Wolfram had in his hand, "Did you think that it would actually help you avoid me? What a laughable concept. Honestly, I thought you were brighter than that...Oh well, I'll get rid of you both then." Murata's hand reached for a kitchen knife that Jennifer had been using earlier. He rushed at Wolfram and Yuuri, but Wolfram exclaimed,

"Jennifer! My sword! Get it!" Yuuri's mother rushed for the pile of Wolfram's clothes that lay on her floor and unsheathed the sword, and ran at Murata,

"Ken-chan! Stop!!!" She hit the knife from Murata's hand. A light blue glow filtered out of him and back inside the silver ball.

 

End Of Dream

 

Conrad blinked,

"Wow. That's definitely some scary stuff, Wolfram. But, where such a contraption would emanate from, I don't know. I'm sure it was all just a dream. That won't really happen."

~&~

It was only a matter of two days before Anissina came into the dining hall, announcing,

"I've done it! I've created a portal other than His Majesty Shinou's!" Gwendal choked on his food thinking, oh no, I AM NOT going to be her guinea pig for this. Then he heard Wolfram pipe up next to him,

"Destroy it!!!" He looked at the small device sitting in Anissina's hand with a frightened look on his face."

"Lord von Bielefield," Anissina explained, "what in the world has gotten into you?" Wolfram angrily grabbed the device from Anissina,

"I'm destroying this right now!" and in a blast of flame, the device was no more. Wolfram stomped from the room and Anissina looked down on the floor to the pile of ashes that once was her best invention ever. Conrad sat stock still in his seat, silently thinking.

"What's up with you?" Gwendal asked.

"That was the exact device that Wolfram described to me from his dream last night." Gwendal looked to the door that Wolfram had just exited from.

"Poor kid." was his only statement before getting up and leaving the room.

~&~

That night, Wolfram sat in the tub and thought about the device that Anissina had created...the device that had the potential to allow even Shinou to pass between worlds. Just then, a large splash appeared in front of him. It was Yuuri...and a letter addressed to Wolfram.

"YUURI!!!" Wolfram exclaimed in joy, jumping on his husband and embracing him, tears falling from his cheeks. Thank the gods! He's still alive, Wolfram thought to himself. It wasn't until later that Wolfram opened the letter that had arrived next to Yuuri. It said:

 

"Dear Lord von Bielefield,

I have returned your precious Yuuri to you unharmed. There is only one thing I need you to do before I let you permanently keep him: You must get him to tell you he loves you...or his life will pay the price for your rejection, my dearest little Mazoku.

Kyou Kara Maou[2],

Shinou, 1st reigning Maou of Shin Makoku."
